Bug Description
The "Update Manager" program displays a "Changes Applied" dialog after updates have been processed. This dialog has a "Details" drop down that displays the APT output in a pseudo-console looking control. Problem; while this console window allows the operator to select the text content, there is no way to copy the text.
The ability to copy the text from this control would facilitate bug reporting of package management problems.
This is a low priority; get Feisty done first, and thanks for Ubuntu. :)

You can copy select the text with the mouse and paste it using the middle mouse button, or by pressing both buttons.
I think we should add a "Copy" button for this.
